^Maybe a way to up the evilness quotient of The Republic and the Jedi masters. In primitive religions, people tend to worship according to their occupations. Fertility and agriculture cults for farmers, vulcan sort of cults for weapon smiths, ocean gods as the principle deities of sailors.... The Jedi might form their faith around law and order above all else. They are police. It blinds them to other human considerations. Maybe Ani could recognize the developing tyranny more clearly. On another note, for different runtimes of each episode, perhaps the deleted footage could be incorporated in the form of montages, audio at a distance for more expo, new footage of rebels and troopers to enlarge and create the sense of greater involvement, cropping and upscaling. If done with an eye to achieving around 90, 120, and 135 versions for each, this footage could be used to to both expand and shorten by replacing more time consuming sequences.
